Kendale Lakes Lanai Sunrooms & Patios is a licensed sunroom contractor serving Miami, FL, specializing in sunroom additions, patio enclosures, and screen room installation on the concrete block homes throughout the city. We have served South Florida homeowners since 2019 and respond to every new inquiry within one business day.

Miami homeowners often want to add usable square footage without a full room addition - a sunroom addition is a practical solution that extends living space into the backyard while keeping insects and rain out. Most Miami lots have enough room for a modest addition even on the smaller lots common in neighborhoods like Little Havana and Flagami.
Miami's wet season brings over 60 inches of rain between May and October, and an open patio is unusable during afternoon downpours. Enclosing that patio with a glass or screen system turns a soggy concrete slab into a space you can actually use when it rains - which in Miami is most summer afternoons.
Miami's mosquito pressure is serious from spring through fall, and an open patio offers little relief in the evenings. A screen room keeps the bugs out while keeping airflow in - which matters a lot in a city where outdoor living is something people actually want to do year-round.
Miami does not have a "season" in the northern sense, but the summer heat and humidity make an uninsulated sunroom uncomfortable from June through September. A four season sunroom with solar-control glass and a connection to your existing air conditioning gives you a room that is genuinely comfortable all twelve months of the year.
Many Miami homes have a covered back patio that is already partially protected - converting that existing structure into a proper sunroom is often faster and less expensive than building from scratch. We assess whether the existing slab and overhead structure can be reused or need to be reinforced before enclosing.
Older Miami sunrooms - many built in the 1970s and 1980s - often have aluminum framing that has corroded at the base, screen mesh that has torn or oxidized, and glass that does not meet current Miami-Dade wind codes. We remodel existing sunrooms to bring them up to current standards and make them worth using again.
Miami's housing stock is dominated by concrete block and stucco construction - most homes were built between the 1950s and 1980s, and that era of building comes with specific characteristics that affect how sunroom and patio work gets done. The concrete slabs common under Miami patios vary in condition and thickness, and the CBS wall systems that surround them require different anchoring methods than wood-frame construction. A contractor who works primarily in wood-frame suburban markets will run into problems quickly on a Miami job.
Miami-Dade County's building code is one of the strictest in the country for wind resistance, and the City of Miami operates its own building department with its own permit review process. Every sunroom addition, patio enclosure, or screen room must use products that carry Miami-Dade product approvals. Homes built before Hurricane Andrew in 1992 frequently have windows, doors, and framing that do not meet current impact standards. Getting the right products specified on the permit drawings - and getting those drawings approved - requires familiarity with local code requirements that only comes from working here regularly. According to the Miami-Dade County Building Department, all structural additions must meet the Florida Building Code with Miami-Dade specific amendments.
Our crew works throughout Miami regularly, and we understand the local conditions that affect sunroom contractor work here. Most of the residential jobs we do in Miami are on CBS homes built between the 1950s and 1980s, concentrated in neighborhoods like Westchester, Flagami, Little Havana, and Coral Terrace. These homes typically have smaller backyards and tighter site access than homes in newer suburbs, which requires careful planning for material delivery and crew staging.
We are familiar with pulling permits through the City of Miami Building Department and coordinating inspections on both City of Miami jobs and Miami-Dade unincorporated area jobs. SW 8th Street - Calle Ocho - is a corridor we know well, and we have worked on homes throughout the neighborhoods that fan out from it in every direction.
We also serve neighboring Coral Gables, where homeowners deal with a similar era of construction but with the added complexity of that city's own permit and design approval process. If your home is near the border of those two cities, we are equally familiar with both.
Call or fill out the contact form and we will respond within one business day to set up a time to visit your Miami property. We come to you - you do not need to bring measurements or drawings.
We measure the space, assess the existing slab and framing, and discuss your options. You receive a written, itemized estimate before any decision is made - no pressure and no vague ranges.
We prepare and submit the complete permit application to the City of Miami Building Department or Miami-Dade Building Department, whichever applies to your address. We track the review and notify you when approval is issued.
We complete all work to permit specifications and schedule the final inspection. You receive the closed permit documentation once the inspector signs off - which protects you if you ever sell or re-insure the property.

(786) 905-1570Miami is the second-largest city in Florida, home to about 440,000 residents within city limits and situated at the center of a metro area of more than 6 million people. The city covers a wide range of neighborhoods - from the dense, walkable blocks of Little Havana and Flagami to the more spread-out residential streets of Westchester and Coconut Grove. Most of Miami's single-family homes are concentrated in the western and southwestern neighborhoods, where concrete block and stucco construction from the 1950s through 1980s is the norm. Brickell and Edgewater are dominated by high-rise condos, while the inner neighborhoods closer to SW 8th Street are packed with owner-occupied homes that have been in the same families for decades.
Homeownership in the broader Miami-Dade area is concentrated outside the urban core, in neighborhoods where single-family homes on modest lots are the dominant housing type. Salt air off Biscayne Bay affects homes within a few miles of the coast, accelerating corrosion on metal components. The city's proximity to Coral Gables to the southwest and to Westchester further out means that homeowners in any of those areas are all dealing with the same South Florida climate challenges - but each city has its own permit jurisdiction and its own building rules.
